(with 1.2 patch) if you place the mouse over the displayed range in position keeper interface, a tooltip will apear telling you again that the range is measured in yards. So the range is always displayed in yards, as far as the TDC is concerned.
Unfortunately, Krupp has proven that the stadimeter and resulting range are worthless in Imperial scale. The data within the Japanese ships cfg and sim files are in metric which throws a wrench into the system when using imperial units. Apparently the game is not converting the measurements correctly.

I direct you to the following SH4 Mods thread JP Ship Dimension Fix and specifically to an illuminating discovery by Krupp in that thread.
